Tips & Advice

- If anyone in your party is nervous on the Wicked Haunts Trail, carry an available yellow paddle so actors know to dial down the scares.
- Standard admission includes entry to only one spooky experience; upgrade to an Unlimited Spooky Pass in advance if you want to visit both or go through multiple times.
